THE INOCYBE SUB-TYPE 117 



Nature revels in variety and continuity, and the existence of 

 such an intermediate Sub-type as the Inocybe affords further evi- 

 dence of this fact. Doubtless, if a particular area of the hymenial 

 surface of any Agaric belonging to this Sub-type were to be watched 

 with the microscope continuously for several hours or days, as has 

 been done for Panaeolus cam'panulatus} a much more complete 

 understanding of the organisation of the hymenium might be 

 obtained than that which has here been presented.
